After standoff, suspected Seminole serial bank robber arrested

A man suspected of robbing several Seminole County banks was taken into custody Tuesday night, but not before an hours-long standoff at a Kissimmee motel.

Investigators said they took Kevin Cotterman into custody at the Sun Inn Suites on West Birlo Bronson Highway after he barricaded himself in a room there.

Cotterman was wanted in a string of bank robbery cases, according to Longwood Police Department officers.

The suspect sustained a self-inflicted wound of some kind during the standoff, and then asked to speak with his mother and his pastor. After speaking with them, Cotterman opened the door for the US Marshals who arrested him, according to police officers.

Cotterman was brought to a hospital to be treated for his wound. Once he is treated, he will be booked into jail, according to investigators.
